daviddias123 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 SO far we have been told that patching is not possible, a sony rule apparently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
technophreak Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 If that Sony rule is true, the only patching that I can see ever happening is an unofficial patch of an iso dump of the game. This is illegal though and will probably never happen. I wonder why Sony is against patching though? Surely it would result in games improving, and more people buying them?

daviddias123 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I agree patching is the way to go, it works for the pc games, cant see why it cant work for psp. However i dont blame SI if sony dont make it possible. The "bugs" dont ruin this game, its still FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbaker Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 If I'm not mistaken, patching the PSP version would be more difficult because none of the games code is stored off the game disc unlike the PC version where, once the game has been installed onto your hard disk, the cd is only there to verify the game is legal. I think for the patch to work it would have to sit on the memory stick but tell the game to access the new code from the stick not read the UMD.

Craig[EVE] Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 How do the Wipeout updates work then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamalek Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 they arent patches though, theyre bonus content. A patch fixes a probalem in the game whereas bonus content adds another variable ie. ships and tracks in wipeout at least thats my understanding of the difference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
